‘Arms-loaded car intercepted in Homs’

The weapons confiscated on Thursday included four RPG’s, five Israeli-made mortars, three anti-tank missiles, snipers and rifles, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on Friday.

In the past year Syrian officials have intercepted large numbers of weapons, including many that came into the country from neighboring Turkey.

In late February, armed terrorist groups in Syria admitted that they had received weapons from French and American sources.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March and many people, including security forces, have lost their lives in the violence.

The West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing the protesters. But Damascus blames ”outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.

The Syrian president said on February 20 that “some foreign countries” are fueling the turmoil in Syria by supporting and funding “armed terrorist groups fighting against the government.”
